A muddy path loomed in front of a couple, one tall and another a tiny tot sharing the bond of a father and son. The path whose sides were engulfed with grassy pavements and a series of arches of mimosa trees, evening light of the dusk dancing through the leaves leaving a hazy spluttered pattern on the ground.
There was gleam in the child's bubbly eyes the one that he had got from his mother and he danced around his father trying to express things compressed in his little thought library.
Pa he said
" The world I saw today
lay transfixed, a different world
the world that you wanted me to  
see, the world not only from my eyes
but eyes of others too"

Crow
"Boys sitting together
eating lunch, chit chat
and banter for side dish
Suddenly a black shadow
attacks boys run for shelter
and I stand by a tree
and try to look through
the eyes of crow
I see their nest, I see their babies
I see the concern in their eyes
and fear in the eyes of ones
around me as they are blind
I try to stop them make them see
and now tears engulf me "

Dad bends down ,looking at his son, deep into his eyes with smile
he says
" Fear not my son
the tears you wept are
Tears of innocence
Tears of empathy
and now do tell me
what else did you see"

With those words he relit the flames of excitement in the child and as they began to walk again a random dog walked across the path,
a fast gush of wind made the leaves fall  and the two of them walked on.
